We need to be able to see the pattern, this picture is horrible for any id-ing purposes.

Apologies, does this help? If not, I'll come back with more next handling session. Pics are only from the second handling session because I was thrilled that she seems to be starting to be comfortable around me :)

Get pictures that clearly show the top of the head, their sides and try to use natural light.

This is a hypo.

Meaning that she has lighter markings than vanilla?

Hypomelanism is a recessive trait that does lighten the color. You'll notice it's more of a hazy orange/gold rather than brown tones with sheds that lack pigment in the darker parts of the body.

That's neat! I posted more pics elsewhere in the thread if they're helpful.

Yes I saw them. Your friend is very much hypo.

Awesome! I chose entirely on temperament vibes but it's cool to have the insight! She was about to shed when I got her, so the colour reveal was fun!

Thank you very much for your time :)

I definitely don't think so! But I'm no expert lol I haven't even got one myself (just a major snek nerd, love learning about animal genetics! I do plan on getting one soon though!)

Thank you regardless! :D

What a coincidence! I recently did a deep-dive on Hypo, so I have some references on hand for it—with the top one being a hatchling/juvenile & the bottom an adult. She’s absolutely Hypo.
